    Theme: Aqua Marina
    Author: Jon Gos
    Version: 0.5 Rosie
    Description: An original Wordpress theme.


    This was my first attempt at a bespoke wordpress theme. I created it in Photoshop then marked up to XHTML and then PHP. This is a public beta, please help me work out all the bugs and kinks by posting any errors as a comment here! The photoshop file used to make it is included for anyone who wants to redesign it.

    Recently I’ve begun building a community using the open source Boonex Dolphin software CMS. One problem I was having was that, even after using the the site UI to improve image quality, it still seemed as if uploading images was ‘lossy’. After some research and a chat with the admins I came up with the following solution:

    The quality of the output JPEG files can be adjusted in inc/images.inc.php, where you need to replace the following line:

    $writeResult = imagejpeg( $dst_im, $dstFilename );

    with this one

    $writeResult = imagejpeg( $dst_im, $dstFilename, quality_in_percent );

    where quality_in_percent is a number from 0 to 100

    About the Theme

    I began modifying this theme when I noticed that the author had stuffed it full of his own Adsense codes. I removed them from every page and I also changed the color profile because the original was hideous (purple, orange, blue and green wtf?). The Basic layout reminded me of a few popular tech blogs so I created a logo for it, added some rounded corners and gave it a new name. The download includes source files including the font and PSD used to make the logo.
